26、Learn Your Water-crossing ABC
If you want to safely cross a body of water in the wilderness, you should know your water-crossing ABC’s.
First, consider how you will physically access the water. Look for an entry point that offers an easy approach to the water itself so your first step isn’t the one that sends you swimming. 【1】 A clear path without too much debris (碎片) will help get your crossing off to a good start.
Next, consider the bottom of the river bed and what it’s made of. Big rocks can be slippery and easier to move and shift under your feet, so they aren’t fit for safe crossing. 【2】 If you can’t watch the bottom from the bank, you should take a closer look in a shallow, slow-moving part of the water.
There’s also the current to consider. To determine speed, throw a stick into the water and walk at your normal speed alongside it on the bank. If the stick goes ahead of you, the water is moving too fast, which means it’s not safe to cross there. 【3】
It is necessary to take account of the depth. As a rule, you want to find a safe crossing area where the stream only comes up to below your knees. 【4】 And it can easily knock you off balance, especially if there’s a current.
【5】 In case you fall, you’re more likely to be swept downstream. If there’s a waterfall nearby, fallen branches or logs, stones, or any obstacles (障碍) that could trap you underwater or knock you unconscious, pick a new place to cross.
You may not always find the perfect crossing where all conditions are perfect, but with a bit of time and effort, you can hopefully locate an area with a balance you feel comfortable with.
A.Start searching for a different spot.
B.Prefer a shallow area without a steep drop-off.
C.You should also be aware of what awaits ahead.
D.Predict how the water will change.
E.A sand or pebble water bed will offer a more stable footing.
F.You should cross every water with carefulness.
G.Water that comes above the knees is much harder to walk through.
27、Learned optimism(乐观主义) is about developing the ability to view the world from a positive point of view.【1】 According to research, people who were more optimistic at age 25 were much healthier later between the ages of 45 and 60 than the pessimistic people. Optimistic people tend to live longer.【2】 When trying to lose weight, for example, optimists are more likely to focus on positive changes, which will help them reach their goals.
According to research, in addition to being partly hereditary(遗传的),optimism levels are also influenced by childhood experiences. Research suggests that it may be beneficial to teach kids optimism skills late enough in childhood, but before the arrival of puberty(青春期). 【3】 Teaching children such skills at their young ages might help them avoid psychological problems.
【4】 Now let’s use an example to show it:Imagine that you recently started a new exercise plan but you’re having trouble sticking with it. Then write down the thoughts running through your mind. You might think things like “Maybe I’m not strong enough to reach my goals.” Meanwhile, ask yourself, “Did such beliefs result in positive actions, or prevent me reaching my goals?” Then you may quickly realize that the negative beliefs make it more difficult to stick with your workout plan.【5】 And in this way, you’ll be left feeling more motivated.
A.There is an effective approach to becoming optimistic.
B.There are many benefits of becoming an optimistic person.
C.They don’t let it influence their beliefs about their abilities in other areas.
D.Optimists, on the other hand, expect that good things will happen to them.
E.Next, try to consider all of the times that you did successfully finish your workout.
F.This is because kids have skills to think about their own thoughts during this period.
G.Additionally, optimism can also help you maintain motivation when pursuing goals.
28、Did you set off fireworks this Spring Festival? This tradition is said to have a history of about 2,000 years. However, due to the great pollution it causes, this year more than 130 cities in China banned (禁止) fireworks before the Spring Festival, according to China Daily. Without fireworks, some people complain that there’s no festive atmosphere. How do you think we can solve this problem? Should we ban setting off fireworks?
Zheng Dinuo
I think setting off fireworks is an essential Spring Festival tradition that helps to create a festive atmosphere and wish everyone a happy new year. On account of the pollution it causes, however, local governments should consider setting off the right amount of fireworks instead of letting citizens set off too many.
Ling Ziqing
In order to avoid putting the environment at risk, setting off fireworks during the Spring Festival should be forbidden. Nobody can deny that setting off fireworks causes too much noise, which seriously disturbs people, especially at night. What’s more, it can cause fires and put people in danger.
Shi Li
We should keep the tradition. It has been a big part of Chinese culture for a long time. Also, our traditions are becoming more important than ever in contemporary China. Nowadays, our rapid economic development means that many traditions are disappearing. Setting off fireworks could raise people’s awareness of protecting traditions.
Li Siya
Instead of completely banning the activity, we should think of other ways to help solve the problems it causes. The government could set strict limits on time and location for setting off fireworks. And people can set off electronic fireworks without polluting the environment.
【1】Over 130 cities in China didn’t allow people to set off fireworks resulting from ____ this year.
A.banning fireworks
B.polluting the environment
C.losing a great tradition
D.no festive atmosphere
【2】What do the opinions by Zheng Dinuo and Shi Li have in common?

【3】Who holds an objective and neutral attitude to fireworks and gives constructive advice?
A.Zheng Dinuo
B.Ling Ziqing
C.Shi Li
D.Li Siya
29、A sense of humor is something highly valued. A person who has a great sense of humor is often considered to be happy and socially confident. However, humor is a double-edged sword. Sometimes it can damage self-respect and annoy others.
People who use bonding humor tell jokes and generally lighten the mood. They're thought to be good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations. They often make fun of their common experiences, and sometimes they may even laugh off their own misfortunes. The basic message they deliver is: We're all alike, we find the same things funny, and we're all in this together.
Put-down humor, on the other hand, is an aggressive type of humor used to criticize others through teasing. When it's aimed against politicians, as it often is, it's extremely funny and mostly harmless. But in the real world, it may have a harmful effect. An example of such humor is telling friends an embarrassing story about another friend. When challenged about their teasing, the put-down jokers might claim that they are "just kidding," thus allowing themselves to avoid responsibility. This type of humor, though considered by some people to be socially acceptable, may hurt the feelings of the one being teased and thus have a bad effect on personal relationships.
Finally, in hate-me humor, the joker is the target of the joke for the amusement of others. This type of humor was used by comedians John Belushi and Chris Farley—both of whom suffered for their success in show business. A small amount of such humor is charming, but routinely offering oneself up to be embarrassed destroys one's self-esteem, and fosters depression and anxiety.
So it seems that being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being. In certain cases, it may actually have a negative effect on interpersonal relationships.
【1】In bonding humor, people create a relaxing atmosphere by ________.
A. joking about experiences they share
B. showing their personal relationships
C. teasing experiences of their friends
D. laughing at other's misfortunes
【2】Which of the following is among the common targets of put-down humor?
A. Comedians. B. Jokers.
C. Politicians. D. Actors.
【3】In the passage, the author mainly conveys ________.
A. humor can be classified into three kinds
B. humor has its bright side and dark side
C. humor deserves to be studied
D. humor is highly valued
